We don’t eat eggplant often in our family. First time I have tried this, I was visiting my friends. I was very impressed with flavors, it was simple but something I have never tried. Later on I found out that this is actually pretty common appetizer in Slavic community. Very easy appetizer to fix up for party.

Optional: You can use any herbs or your choice such as parsley, thyme, basil… Also you can add parmesan cheese to mayonnaise.

On what temperature u broil and for how long?
It really depends on the oven you are using, if you broil on high it would be just under 5 minutes on one side and a few minutes on the other side.
These are my husband's favorite! I use 2 eggplants and they are gone within a day. I use 2 garlic cloves per 4 tbsps mayo though and I feel that its just right for us 😉 I used to broil them too but last time I made them I found that baking them for about 15-20 mins at 450 degrees produces a much better texture.
Thanks for your suggestions 🙂
